Bowling *****!!
Shrew spit!!
All I wanted to do was change the oil and filter on the Subaru.
Last change was a free one I got from the dealer in Anchorage.
Dang ape didn't put a new crush washer on the bolt in fact no washer at all and must have had 50lbs torque on it.
Called Subaru.
Service manager said they didn't do it which means that somebody broke into my garage,
removed the bolt, took off the washer, reinstalled it and replaced the lost oil.
Its probably a good thing they are 200 miles away.
Back into town to get a new bolt and a brighter disposition.

This does not make sense to me;
Para 1: ".... no washer at all ...."
Para 2: "....took off the washer..."
How can you take off a washer that is not there? Why take off a washer and reinstall it? Would it not be better to install a new washer?
Is this a new Barkism?

Stan - - I like that - - a new word - - - BARKISM. Excellent. That explains a lot of crazeee stuff he does..........
Sun is out, temps up a bit, very fresh and great outside - - doors/windows open in the RV for the first time in 2 weeks. This is more like it. Heading out in the morning for pics/siteseeing. Then, fishing Friday. Neat spot here. Going out bear hunting after supper tonight - - so much fun watching them fishing in the river. Not fun when they sneak up behind you while doing it.

And when I told him that since there was not a washer on the bolt than the only logical thing (besides magic) was that somebody stole the washer,
he actually sounded like it was feasible.
Same here. Clear and 72. Hey! Since when do you speak American temps instead of Canadian (°C) temps.
That's what you get for not sticking around our area and for running over shrews.
EDIT: Just noticed your new post. Did you see that interview with that last bear mauling victim?
He said the bear used him as toilet paper whatever that means. Luckily he wasn't badly hurt.
On further reflection, I think the moral of his story was to not approach bears just after they have had their first cup of coffee.

Yeah, higher elevation, that`s it... Denmark is kinda flat, highest point is about 600 feet, so me being at about 150 feet, that´s hardly elevation.
Actually, it's more than that, the house is right at 2500, so Gamil's is probably 2450-2475, and the high point over west is about 2950. Then go down into the Republican River valley to Bartley and it's at about 2350.
I can show you a 600 foot elevation change in 30 miles (or so) in a "flat" state!
Picked up a 5 pound pack of pulled pork Monday night, broke it down into ziplock sandwich bags last night. Should have stretched it into a few more, that was a lot of pulled pork in that little bag. Also had the first ear of corn out of my "garden" tonight. Wasn'[t very big, and my garden was "plowed" by me cutting the sod and turning it over with a shovel. I should have hit it with some fertilizer sooner, too. Spread some 12-0-12 at the base of the corn stalks, and some of it grew a foot in the next 2 days, after it all went from being yellow to green by the next evening.
Bark- I bet that drain plug screwed right out after driving to the dealer for a new one.The sheet metal of the 710 pan expands faster than the thicker metal of the drain plug.
Can't get #3 spark plug out of the amigo. Probably go up to Gothenburg in spring once I get my tax return in and see if I can't trade it off on a short wheelbase F150 with a 300 and 5 speed.
Ran over to Palisade to pick up a free recliner Sunday, on the way to get fuel ran out of washer fluid. Got a gallon after fueling, poured it in, and it ran right out the bottom. The pump broke. Should be a new one waiting at NAPA tomorrow.
May throw new pads at the Dodge and go up to the tractor show at the Farm And Ranch Museum in Gering. With the amigo's issues PA is out the window again.

That pulled pork sounds good. Is it from a BBQ place. You freezing the smaller bags? Hungry minds want to know.
I am finishing up some smoked chicken right now.
I only wound up three hours behind but its going to be good at around 2300.
More for me.
Suddenly I am not quite as hungry and LEGGS are just about the best part of a chicken.

Morning all.
It is Thursday, July 31, the last day of July already. Where has this summer gone?
1790 - The first U.S. patent was issued to Samuel Hopkins for his process for making potash and pearl ashes. The substance was used in fertilizer.
1792 - The cornerstone of the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, PA, was laid. It was the first building to be used only as a U.S. government building.
1932 - Enzo Ferrari retired from racing. In 1950 he launched a series of cars under his name.
1945 - Pierre Laval of France surrendered to Americans in Austria.
1948 - U.S. President Truman helped dedicate New York International Airport (later John F. Kennedy International Airport) at Idlewild Field.
1964 - The American space probe Ranger 7 transmitted pictures of the moon's surface.
1971 - Men rode in a vehicle on the moon for the first time in a lunar rover vehicle (LRV).
1991 - U.S. President George H.W. Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.
1999 - The spacecraft Lunar Prospect crashed into the moon. It was a mission to detect frozen water on the moon's surface. The craft had been launched on January 6, 1998.
Today's thought:
Allow yourself a moment of grief when life's misfortunes visit you. However, do not spend your days building a monument in honor of them.
Coffee's on.
Ph00 t00. B0b better show up and drink this swill, it's stinkin' up the breakroom!

Morn' all. Beautiful sunrise just starting. Tried the coffee and the ph00. Know what, this morning will stick with my own brew. Thanks for trying chaikwa.
Looked at my to-do list and looked away. Darn thing never seems to get any shorter!
Going to go down, sit in the swing on my patio, drink my coffee and relax. Maybe even do some slow thinking. Very slow thinking. It's that kind of a morning.
Bye.

Scotty, trying to decide if you and Lary have a LEGGS fixation or if it is an addiction. Or is it an incurable disease - something akin to Ebola?

I like your idea of slow thinking. Is that like a split between conscious thought and meditation?
If you encountered what Lary and I did in Colorado, the only way to cope is to do what we do.
Having an Elder Twin and a Barkism is part of it.
Scottkwa thanks for that thought for the day!

Lost a good friend last evening. Our old border collie Daisy was born with a congestive heart defect and after 14 yrs of chasing tennis *****, horses, kids and me, she went to sleep at the vets office. She's resting next to her buddy Greta under a tree next to the pond. When she was younger, she'd chase horses I was working in the round pen, barking like crazy.....she probably got me bucked off more colts than anything else...
She would watch me hit the ground and sit down staring at me like" what happened?".....
Gonna miss her, but I'm ok with, knowing she had a "good run" as Hat put it, and went before she started suffering.
